The collaboration between The Flaming Lips and Deap Vally has been released today – check it out below on New Music Friday.
Deap Lips can be traced back to a chance meeting between Wayne Coyne and Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards whilst the duo were touring with Wolfmother. “I can’t remember exactly when I became aware of Deap Vally, but let’s say it was sometime just before I saw them play,” Coyne has said.
“I was in Raleigh visiting with the creator of the World’s Largest Gummy Bear, and so getting to experience Deap Vally was just one more cool thing of many cool things that were happening to me. Deap Vally really rocked the mostly all dude crowd that was there to scream to Wolfmother.”
“I met Lindsey that night and we both were glad we met. Deap Vally got my phone number and about a year later hit me up, out of the blue and invited themselves to come to Oklahoma City and jam with us and maybe come up with a couple songs for their “collaboration” album that they were working on.”
